I feel like this section shouldn't be included in the truncated version...
Post-regeneration
After his predecessor was shot and subsequently failed to be saved by a Dr. Grace Holloway, the Eighth Doctor was born with amnesia, which he overcame with the help of Grace, (TV: Doctor Who [+]Loading...["Doctor Who (TV story)"], PROSE: The Novel of the Film [+]Loading...["The Novel of the Film (novelisation)"], The TV Movie [+]Loading...["The TV Movie (novelisation)"]) although he would soon-after get amnesia again, this time being helped by Rassilon as he guided the Doctor's TARDIS to meet his past selves, regaining his memories as he went, (PROSE: The Eight Doctors [+]Loading...["The Eight Doctors (novel)"]) and potentially changing reality from the state it was in his part of previous life to a new one where Flavia was now Lady President rather than Romana II. (PROSE: Unnatural History [+]Loading...["Unnatural History (novel)"], The Eight Doctors [+]Loading...["The Eight Doctors (novel)"])
Early days
Now with Sam Jones, who he'd met when regaining his memories for a second time (PROSE: The Eight Doctors [+]Loading...["The Eight Doctors (novel)"]), the Eighth Doctor went on multiple travels with her, including to Seychelles (AUDIO: Bounty [+]Loading...["Bounty (audio story)"]), Stonehenge (where they discovered it was built with slave labour), (PROSE: The People's Temple [+]Loading...["The People's Temple (short story)"]) Eros (where they were captured by Asheya before being released) (PROSE: The Queen of Eros [+]Loading...["The Queen of Eros"]) as well as "several side steps" by himself, (PROSE: Seeing I [+]Loading...["Seeing I (novel)"]) where he played with his model train set, (PROSE:Model Train Set [+]Loading...["Model Train Set (short story)"]) worked on a farm ownned by Panstedas (PROSE: Totem [+]Loading...["Totem (short story)"])), and briefly took the title "Merlin" (PROSE: One Fateful Knight [+]Loading...["One Fateful Knight (short story)"]).
After having travelled with her for a while, the Doctor left Sam at a Greenpeace rally, for "a few hours" from her persepctive, but "a few years" from his. (PROSE: Vampire Science [+]Loading...["Vampire Science (novel)"])
Some time during this gap, the Doctor picks up Grace Holloway for "one trip", wherein they went to Brendais and Grace was kidnapped by Adam Mitchell, (COMIC: The Body Politic) although the Eighth Doctor, along with all of his past and future selves up to the Eleventh Doctor, eventually saved her and their other companions.

The Doctor and Fitz escaped in Compassion using a randomiser, in an attempt to escape from the Time Lords. They travelled to Yquatine, (PROSE: The Fall of Yquatine) Eskon, (PROSE: Coldheart) and Banquo Manor, when a Time Lord disguised as Cuthbert Simpson obtained the randomiser seed code for Compassion, and transmitted this information to Gallifrey. This allowed the Time Lords to predict where the Doctor would materialise next, (PROSE: The Banquo Legacy) resulting in them bringing the trio to Gallifrey and the Faction Paradox invasion of Gallifrey commencing, culminating in Gallifrey's destruction, the undoing of the War, and the amnesiac Doctor being set down on Earth in 1894 and Fitz in 2001, both by Compassion.
